[Alternate History] [Literary Plagiarism] [Empress] [Severing Family Ties and Face-Slapping] [No System] [Lighthearted Power Fantasy]
"Lu Guanlan, you ignorant good-for-nothing! You've brought nothing but shame upon the Lu family! From this day onward, you and I are no longer father and son!"
After transmigrating, Lu Guanlan became the despised eldest legitimate son in the Censor-in-Chief's household.
His stepmother framed him, his father favored the other children, and his half-brother even wanted to steal his engagement?
Lu Guanlan cut ties with his family on the spot, took the bookshop his late mother had left him, and walked away without a care.
He planned to copy poems, earn a little money, marry a few pretty wives, and live out his days in comfort.
Who could have guessed that a poem he dashed off would leave the literary talents of four kingdoms speechless?
That a casual essay of his would amaze the entire court?
Even the pretty young woman who often came to his bookshop to buy poems and mooch a meal began to see him in a new light.
Then one day, in front of the entire court, the Empress personally issued an order:
"Minister Lu, I hear that Lu Guanlan is your son?"
"Such a pillar of the nation must be put to use. I shall appoint him myself!"
"Go and invite him to court!"
At these words, Lu's father blacked out and collapsed on the spot.
Meanwhile, Lu Guanlan stared in bewilderment at the Empress, who had suddenly appeared in his bookshop.
"Wait, Miss Xiao?"
"Why are you wearing imperial robes?!"
